    Good small digital, but too small for us. Don't plan on taking any nighttime photos with it or fast-action...….definitely not good for either.

    I haven't any experience but I like to check things out. At the time of this Youtube video it was priced around $400 which I couldn't afford. But it is a nice digital camera.

    Okay, thanks, Cody. Probably not what I wanted anyway. What camera do you have or what would you recommend? I appreciate your reply.

    @Von Jones, thanks Von. I never thought to check these out on YouTube. I like a camera with dials instead of having to hunt and click eack setting. They are expensive for what it's got but was hoping to find one at about half that price. Thanks for your reply. I found it to be just what I was looking for.

    A couple of years ago, we gave our old Panasonic Digital to a photography school, because the screen on the back went out and our media card was getting old. So, we ended up finding a nice Canon PowerShot SX530 HS on sale at Best Buy. Bought an extra battery and got a lens protector online. Since we love to take photos, we bought the biggest media card available for the camera. This camera takes fantastic photos and HD video. It is suppose to be a "point and shoot" type digital, but with all the "bells and whistles" that are with it, there's no way this could be an easy "point and shoot" type.

    Thing is, we had an old computer that the usb and media slots weren't working very well. So, had to get a new desktop computer. Just can't buy new technology and except it to work with old technology/computer.

    @Cody Fousnaugh, Does the SX530 have any control dials on top of the camera?

    @Cody Fousnaugh Apparently you like the camera you have and I guess you would recommend it to someone who is not as knowledgablee as youi are. Correct?
